the celebration of Veteran's Day makes today's thankful post pretty easy. as i hear stories of the sacrifices men and women make for my freedom, i am humbled. i'm not only talking about the lives that have been lost to gain our freedom, but i'm also referring to the little pieces of life that are lost to keep me living in the America we know today. for instance: the year of their child's life that some servicemen and women lose when they are sent halfway across the world. or, the piece of themselves that is lost when they see another die in a traumatic way. or, the part of them that dies as they carry out the operations sent from their superior. i am quite sure that most of us have no idea what the cost of freedom truly is.
day 11: yes, i am very thankful for all of the sacrifices made by all of the servicemen and women who have served or are serving this country.
